Millennial Receiving Counselling After Being Called ‘Auld Fella’ By Gang Of 12-Year-Olds At Bus Stop

THERE HAVE been calls for free counselling services to be extended to millennials who are being called ‘auld fellas’ after a disturbing incident unfolded in Dublin earlier this week, WWN can reveal.

“The thing is, they weren’t slagging me, they weren’t ganging up on me, they just said it a plain, obvious fact; a lady asked them when the next 15 bus was due and they said ‘dunno but that auld fella over there might know’,” explained 39-year-old Chris Boland, reliving the trauma of the horrific moment he was awarded ‘auld fella’ status by a gang of 12-year-olds.

“You know, if they were trying to rile me, I could brush it off like they were looking for a stupid insult but this was so matter of fact, to them it was a 100% certainty I was a decrepit old man who probably remembers watching the moon landing, and that clean took me out at the ankles” added Boland.

The elder millennial says despite seeing his GP in the immediate aftermath, he was told there is no specific counselling service for such events.

“I’ve had to pay out of my own pocket, and let me tell you it’s not cheap. Ten sessions later and we’re only beginning to process what happened,” explained Boland, who thinks all millennials should be given a full medical card after they are first referred to as ‘mad old’.

“It was only yesterday I built up the courage to go back to the bus stop and face it, but there was a gang of 12-year-olds loitering, I can’t be sure it was the same group but I bolted out of I fear. I didn’t wanted to be insulted if I confronted them and told them how being called an auld fella made me feel”.

Boland has said he suffers the same recurring nightmare every night in which the 12-year-olds call him various nicknames that age him, including ‘Dial Up’, ‘Flip Phone’, ‘Complete Punt’ and ‘Recession Head’.
